It is known as the famous district of Jiangzuo and the first cognizance of Guangling, the hometown of Emperor Yao, the birthplace of Yao culture, and an important area of Jianghuai civilization and postal culture. As early as 7,000 years ago, the ancestors ploughed and cultivated the land and flourished here. In 223 B.C., the king of Qin built a high platform here and set up a post pavilion, so it was called Gaoyou, also known as Qin Post, a postal town in China, with no similarities in the divine state, and the only city named after a post in China.
Post - Yu Cheng Post
A journey of wind and rain, a journey of smoke,
Daiwa green brick in front of you.
It was a night time in the evening,
and I was not in the saddle when I was drinking by the pond.
On the east bank of the canal, southwest of the ancient city of Gaoyou, there is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient stagecoaches in the country. The station is called Yu Cheng Yi, which was built in Ming Dynasty (1375), and is a national AAAA level scenic spot. Yu Cheng was named after Qin Shaoyou's poem "My hometown is like an overturned pellet", which was written by Qin Shaoyou, a poet of the Wanjiao school. Yu Cheng Yi, once more than a hundred houses, is a veritable "five-star hotel", through the vicissitudes of change, there are still large and small halls, guest rooms, kitchens, office rooms more than 50.
This is a place where the heart can move. Walking through the years polished slate bricks, riding on a stone horse, climbed the drum tower, ears will hear the sound of horses' hooves on the stagecoach road and the hustle and bustle of the boat ushered in and out of the shore. Nowadays, this old post station has expanded the natural and humanistic landscapes around it, such as receiving official hall, wind and rain wall, horse-drinking pond, willow shade and Zen forest, etc. Walking in the post station, the heart will be moved with the post, which may be touched by the sentiment of "sending plum blossoms by post, and passing ruler by fish", and may be yearning for the romanticism of "there is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, and I would like to give a branch of spring to you". "The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the newest and most important thing you need to do.
Tower - Zhenguo Temple Tower
Ancient temples such as the boat tower like a sail,
Fluttering gulls and herons chase the clouds.
Steps to the top of the dust and smoke net,
continuous Sanskrit sound between the heart and the sea.
From Yu Cheng Yi, drive along the east embankment of the canal to the north over the second bridge over the canal, and then along the west embankment of the canal to the south, about eight minutes to the west side of the Zhenguo Temple Square. Get off the car and walk across the 30-meter long Pudu Bridge, which is the Zhenguo Temple on the island in the center of the river.
Inside the temple on the north side, there is a Tang dynasty tower, the name of the Zhenguo Temple Tower, the tower body of seven levels, is the highest building on the water of thousands of miles of canals. The tower is a four-square structure, only two in the country, the other is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, so the Zhenguosi Tower is also known as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the south. Entering the tower door, climbing to the top of the tower, looking out over the fence, the west side is the vast Gaoyou Lake, the east side is the ancient Yu Cheng Yi scenic spot, looking down at the tower, is across the north and south, like a floating jade belt of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. At this time, the head of the clear blue sky, heard the dazzling sound of Sanskrit, and then mixed state of mind, will also be baptized, become quiet, indifferent, and even have a floating, transcendental feeling.
Lake - Gaoyou Lake
Pearl Lake scenic show is in the spring,
The water is clean and the sky is bright willow color new.
The water is clean, the sky is bright, and the color of willow is new.
The short rows of animals are swaying on the waves, and the long kites are dancing on the floating clouds.
The egrets of Tingzhou are coming down leisurely,
and the fragrance of the sea of flowers is faintly smelling.
Since all things are good,
why wait for the sun to sink?
The west bank of the canal, through the repair of the canal road, is the 760 square kilometers of Lake Gaoyou. "The lake is a wide expanse of water with 36 lakes, and a little bit of smoke points to the Gaoyou Lake. It was once dotted with stars like the Thousand Island Lake, which was linked together by flooding hundreds of years ago, and is the sixth largest freshwater lake in the country.
